IN PRAISE OF SISTERS SINGING

"I plan to keep Sisters Singing in arm's reach for at least

the next year. Congratulations on this fine work."

                                    --Maya Angelou

"This magical book is a well of blessings.
Sit beside it, let down your bucket.  Open
it anywhere and you will hear their voices.
Your sisters are singing, praying, murmuring

stories, telling us, in a thousand ways,

what we most need to know: that we belong

to each other and to the living earth."

                                  --Joanna Macy

                                     author, World as Lover, World as Self

“As I read Sisters Singing I felt my soul change. 

In the midst of so much planetary uncertainty I suddenly

felt safe. I felt peace welling up and spreading out.  

If you read Sisters Singing, I predict that you too

will find yourself flipping back to the biographies

every few pages out of gratitude and praise

for such full-throated, woman-generated spiritual vision. These Sisters sing forth a world-changing wisdom."

                                   --Brian Swimme

                                       author, The Hidden Heart of the Cosmos

"Each piece in Sisters Singing builds upon the previous, urging the reader to turn the page and stumble upon the next treasure. And every single time I was even more excited to encounter the next. My review copy has traveled, literally, thousands of miles with me now. The corners are banged up, the spine is scratched, and there are so many flags and markers you can barely see the edge of the page. But that's a bit like our own life stories, isn't it? Traveled, worn down, memorized, but still waiting to be opened for the truth that lies within."

                                     -- Becca Taylor

                                         Story Circle Book Reviews

“Women have been waiting many generations for this inspired and far-ranging collection to accompany rituals, ceremonies, and meditations. A book as graceful as it is generous, Sisters Singing offers the music of stories,

prayers, and poems -- a call to sacred community.”

“Praises for Sisters Singing! A sacred and practical companion for all those who are seeking a deeper

relationship with life's mysteries. A profoundly

embodied and nature-centered spiritual handbook

for use in private prayer and meditation, community celebrations, rituals, ceremonies and gatherings

of friends and family.”

                                   -- Jennifer Berezan

                                      Singer/Composer, "Praises for the World"

“Sisters Singing is a rich and honest book, packed with personal stories, lyrics, prayers and invocations, a treasure trove to dip into as part of a morning meditation practice, or to give to a loved one as part of a greater spiritual conversation.  This book is a great gathering of ordinary women living in extraordinary awareness of the beauty and danger of our times.”

                                   -- Alison Luterman

                                        author of The Largest Possible Life

" Sisters Singing is a gentle, yet powerful testamony to the Divine Feminine /Masculine Mystery  dancing within Humanity, Nature and all Life.  This collection of personal  stories, prayers, poetry and songs animates the raising of the Collective Consciousness of Gaia to new heights of Creative Expression. "
